Angry taxis
I got a Taxi from Asda to Pickup street and was charged £5
And then one of my bags with milk and lemonade in it has disappeared, i searched the house and then rang the taxi firm to check if it was in the boot still and guess what ??? 'No bag in car' !!!
So where do you think my bag is ??

re: taxis
I was being serious for a change, I bet a lot of bags get left outside Asda. Easy to forget when you are trying to shove the kids in the car at the same time.

£5 from ASDA to Clayton seems a bit steep to me

I can see the point that it was expensive,but I can't really see that you can blame the driver for your loss.

re: taxis
£6 is the maximum that any supermarket ever charges for delivery.
That highest rate applies when you pick the most popular delivery times.
I seldom pay anything for delivery because I have their charging system sussed.
